One-off gigs in Kampala
From Nakawa to Rubaga, find a service provider or offer your skills for short gigs, without crossing the whole city.
MIPOconnect is a young platform: gigs in Kampala arrive as clients post them. Create your profile to receive the ones that match you, or post the first one.
Living and working in Kampala
Uganda’s capital is organised in five divisions: Central, Kawempe, Makindye, Nakawa and Rubaga. Busy markets such as Nakasero and Owino sit near the centre, Makerere University is in the north, and areas like Ntinda, Bugolobi or Kololo are largely residential.
Getting around on Kampala’s hills can take time, even on a boda boda. Stating the division and the area in a post helps talents judge the trip before they apply, for an urgent repair as for a gig lasting several days.
Finding odd jobs in Kampala

Divisions and areas in Kampala

How it works
- The client describes the need: the work, the place in Kampala, the date and the budget.
- Interested talents apply, and both sides can talk through the site’s messaging.
- The client chooses: they then receive the talent’s phone number.
- The gig is done and paid directly, and the client can leave a review.
Payment
In Uganda, the talent and the client agree on the price between themselves and are usually paid in cash or by mobile money (MTN MoMo, Airtel Money…). The money for gigs never goes through MIPOconnect, which takes no commission. Posting a gig is free; talents can send 5 applications a month without a subscription.
